Montanans deserve a senator who trusts women and will advocate for them to make their own health care decisions. For his entire Senate career, Tester has maintained a 100 percent rating on Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s congressional scorecard. That’s why Planned Parenthood Action Fund proudly supports Jon Tester for re-election.

Why We Support Sen. Jon Tester

He’s worked hard to protect the Affordable Care Act and access to Planned Parenthood

Jon Tester on the Issues:

Tester supports a woman’s right to safe and legal abortion. He’s denounced efforts to curtail this right, calling dangerous and out-of-touch legislation to ban abortion after 20 weeks “another politically motivated attack to try and put the government between a woman and her doctor.” In the Senate, he’s taken proactive steps to expand abortion access — including co-sponsoring the Women’s Health Protection Act.

Tester knows the importance of ensuring women have access to affordable contraception. He urged officials to provide “cost-free contraceptive coverage” for millions of women.

Tester has also stood firmly against the Trump administration’s attempts to roll back women’s rights to access affordable birth control, even opposing Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, over his anti-women’s health opinions on birth control access.

Tester stands with Planned Parenthood. As a senator, he has voted eight times against efforts to cut access to Planned Parenthood for women. He’s denounced efforts to dismantle Planned Parenthood’s ability to serve thousands of Montanans, calling them "reckless and irresponsible," as well as "shortsighted and downright dangerous."

Tester knows that Planned Parenthood provides "critical access to health care" to people all over Montana. Thousands of Montanans visit Planned Parenthood every year, and they have an ally in Tester.

Tester has been a staunch defender of equitable access to health care, which is why he votedmultipletimes against Republican attempts to roll back the Affordable Care Act (ACA). These bills would have gutted Medicaid and cut access to Planned Parenthood for thousands of Montana residents. Nearly 48,000 people in Montana rely on the ACA for their health insurance.

Tester believes all Americans should have access to quality, affordable health care, regardless of who they are or where they come from. That’s why he’s fought for access for all Montanans, including children.

Tester believes everyone should have access to affordable quality health care — no matter who you are or where you come from. Tester has long been a supporter of LGBTQ equality, and recently spoke out against Trump’s decision to ban transgender service members from the military. Tester also sponsored the Student Non-Discrimination Act to make it illegal to discriminate against LGBTQ students.
